August 2017: Feature Retirement

Some features within WORK will be retired in the coming months to make way for some exciting changes.

Over the course of this year, we will be improving the overall customer experience and adding new features to help you better manage your Jobs, Clients and Schedules.

As these enhancements take shape, we've determined that the following features can no longer be offered as we create new experiences in the WORK product. We will start retiring these features for most customers beginning of September and the remaining customers in the months to follow. Select a feature below to learn more.

PLEASE NOTE: Customers that are affected by these changes will receive updates in advance of the features being removed.
